Scared Ovarian Diagnosis

Hi, I'm new here and petrified. I haven't had a cancer diagnosis yet so you may think I shouldn't be hear but I'm petrified. I've had bloating for about 4 weeks and after routing blood test an elevated CA125 of over 300. I'm so swollen round my middle and now think it could be ascites not bloating and I feel so stupid and worried that might be a sign I have more advanced cancer. I've got an appt on Monday morning with a gynaecologist. I have a 5 year old and can't even think about what this may mean. Anyone who has been through this or has any advice welcome. Thank you x

  • Hi, 

    Spent the first 2 weeks in hospital as had an infection but I've been home now just over a week. 

    Can't believe how tired and little energy I've had but am improving everyday. An afternoon nap is something I've never done but does really help and I feel so much better for it. At a stage where I can have a little trip away from the house for an hour or so and it feels like normality. 

    I see my consultant next week for the histology report and to find out when chemo starts. I am just relieved that it was all removed and in six months this part should hopefully all be behind me.

    Thank you for the kind thoughts xx
